Ludwig Van Beethoven said that "The Guitar is a miniature orchestra in itself." This course examines the fundamental principles behind the electric guitar and the innovations in technology that have driven its ongoing popularity. Through a combination of lectures and workshops we'll explore the history of its evolution, asking why a Stratocaster sounds different to a Jazzmaster, why vintage Les Pauls are so prized, how how different pedals work and and why valve amps give you such great tone.
